Q. Mary's favorite hobby is tending to her vegetable garden. The garden bed has a total area of 4848 square feet. She has planted cherry tomatoes in tt square feet of the garden and cucumbers in the other 3636 square feet.\newlineWhich diagram models the story?\newlineWhich equation models the story?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) t+36=48t + 36 = 48\newline(B) t36=48t - 36 = 48
  1. Calculate Total Garden Area: Mary has a garden of 4848 square feet and has planted cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. She planted cucumbers in 3636 square feet. We need to find the area for cherry tomatoes, represented by tt.
  2. Subtract Cucumber Area: To find the area for cherry tomatoes, subtract the area of cucumbers from the total area of the garden. Calculation: 4836=1248 - 36 = 12 square feet.
  3. Formulate Equation for Cherry Tomatoes: The equation that represents this situation is t+36=48t + 36 = 48, where tt is the area for cherry tomatoes.
